Product Description
Coronation Street has been a hit with viewers since it first broadcast in December 1960. In this comprehensive account, acclaimed author and scriptwriter Sean Egan takes us on a trip down the cobbled streets of Corrie's memory lane. Covering moving marriages, unforgettable deaths, iconic storylines and the Street's most famous residents - both beloved (Hilda and Stan Ogden, Emily Bishop, Rita Sullivan, Kevin and Sally Webster), and despised (Ena Sharples, Annie Walker, Mike Baldwin and Gary Windass) it's a must for any true soap fan. Egan also puts Corrie in context, exploring how the show spawned an entire soap industry, from EastEnders to Hollyoaks; how its multiple revamps reflected the changes in working class aspiration (from loos to stone cladding); how some programmes sharing the same time-slot died whilst others - like Blakes 7, flourished; and how the fans and actors reacted to the ever-increasing frequency of broadcasts.
From Ken and Deirdre's marriage, Mike Baldwin's Alzheimer's-related death and Deirdre's wrongful imprisonment, to off-set intrigues (in real life, Ken Barlow is a druid) and upheavals (Ivy Brennan actress Lynne Perrie's wildly inappropriate collagen implants saw her written out of the show), this is a fascinating compendium of behind-the-scenes stories for Coronation Street's many fans.
